It’s Cereal Time!: Our Favorite Cereal-Themed Race Cars

When Austin Dillon wakes up this weekend in his motor home at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, the first thing he eats may be a big bowl of Pumpkin Spice Cheerios.

If he eschews the specialty cereal for something different, he’ll have plenty of reminders of the cereal throughout the day that may make him start to crave a bowl.

Pumpkin Spice Cheerios is the latest offering from General Mills and their line of Cheerios cereals to grace Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet SS. If you haven’t seen the paint scheme, it’s a really cool design.

This got us thinking.

There have been some memorable cereal-themed paint schemes in NASCAR through the years, so we decided to highlight some of our favorites.

Below are five of our favorite cereal-themed paint schemes with one honorable mention.

Austin Dillon will drive the No. 3 Pumpkin Spice Cheerios in the New Hampshire 300 on Sunday, September 25. Since Dillon is in the Chase, the car on track will feature the yellow markers indicating that he’s a Chase participant.

A division of the iconic Lionel Trains company, which was founded in 1900, Lionel Racing makes and sells replica die-cast NASCAR®, NHRA, and other racing collectibles through a variety of channels, including Corporate, National Accounts, trackside, online, a network of specialty dealers and the Racing Collectables Club of America (RCCA), the company’s direct-to-consumer channel.

They all have been great with great drivers but for me it’s the Wheaties 1997 Dale Earnhardt Sr car it was one of my favorite Earnhardt cars of all times and ran at Charlotte one of the best tracks in NASCAR
